More than 30 employers will participate in the Communication and Journalism Department's job fair today.
The fair will be in the SUB Ballroom B from 1 to 4 p.m.
Jerra Gonzales, president of UNM's Public Relations Student Society of America, said newspapers, broadcast stations, and advertising and public relations firms will offer students internships and job opportunities.
Some of the employers include the Albuquerque Journal, KOAT, Rick Johnson and the Santa Ana Star Center.
Students should bring résumés and dress professionally, Gonzales said.

"Students will get the chance to set up possible job interviews and internships and the opportunity to ask professionals questions about their career fields," Favour said.
John G. Oetzel, chairman of the department, said employers are excited to talk to students.
"We're hoping to have a good turnout of students," Oetzel said.
Colin Bridge, vice president of the Society of Professional Journalists, said the fair has been in the works since November.
"We wanted to give all students in the Communication and Journalism Department an upper hand," Bridge said. "Overall, it will be a great chance for students to talk with professionals and possibly get an internship or job."
